Is there anything funnier than CNN complaining about “over the top” negative coverage? On Sunday’s Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter came rushing to Joe Biden’s defense, complaining about hyper-critical coverage of the fiasco in Afghanistan. You could never be critical enough of Trump, and Biden should be granted a wide berth. Stelter began: STELTER: Everyone has an opinion about the media’s coverage of Afghanistan, the withdrawal and the Biden administration. So let’s get into it. ‘Knives out for Biden,’ Tucker Carlson said, claiming the press has turned on the president. Carlson spun it as a conspiracy theory, of course, but the critical tone of the coverage has been obvious to everyone. I’m not talking about far right-wing coverage, which has been predictably over the top. There was a Newsmax segment that alleged the Afghan mess exposed quote, “Joe’s cognitive issues.” They don’t even have enough respect for him to call him the president. Disrespecting the president? You almost want to shake Stelter by the lapels and tell him: “Three weeks ago, you were comparing Trump to death cult leader Jim Jones !”
At this point four years ago, Stelter was using the Charlottesville rioting to underline Trump was “crazy” and unfit for office. He hammered on Trump’s “mental unfitness” so often that it just became part of the Stelter patter, that we routinely summarized his weekly rants as Trump was a “mentally unstable authoritarian.” It’s a little bit amazing that @BrianStelter thinks Newsmax is out of line for questioning “Joe’s cognitive issues,” and disrespects the president.
It’s like he has a bad case of amnesia, like he didn’t constantly question Trump’s cognitive issues and compare him to Hitler. pic.twitter.com/J0IO6fNivW — Tim Graham (@TimJGraham) August 23, 2021 Stelter went out to tout HuffPost, another hothouse of liberal opinion. “But the mainstream media’s tone has also been scathing. I heard complaints from Biden’s aides about this. So did Daniel Marans of Huffpost , who wrote that Biden, quote ‘has stuck to his guns while under attack in the press, laying out a case for the limits of American military power.'” Stelter […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
